Re: [Radiance-dev] Setting up a local ambient file within ray_calls library

2017-12-12 Thread Greg Ward
Hi German, You cannot access two different scenes/octrees from the same process, so no use in having different ambient files. Again, it's a limitation in the design of the renderers and their use of global data structures. You need to spawn separate processes if you want to render multiple scene

Hi Terrance, It's remarkable that you were able to sort this out without aid. There's already a fairly sophisticated installation script written for trad, which gets triggered by "rmake install" in the src/util directory. I wouldn't know how to replicate this using cmake, unless it can call th

2015-07-24 Thread Greg Ward
The bug seems to be an intermittent problem with the system select() call, for which there is no substitute. Almost all multiprocessing methods in Radiance rely on it. It's difficult to investigate as the main process hangs in the system call and there is no way to determine why except by puttin

Agreed -- thread now moved to radiance-dev list. (Andrei, you can sign up for this list if you aren't already at .) That's a good idea to use unsigned integersh, Nathaniel. I've also suggested (in a private message to Andrei) that he try it with "long long" in place of "long," as I think the

Hi Fritz, The usual strategy is to convert to Radiance format, like obj2rad. I don't know how often it's used, but the .OBJ format has a NURBS specification, and it should be easy enough to support it with obj2mesh. That would have the advantage of including surface normal smoothing and uv textu
